NIGP 54044: Lumber, White Pine, Including Ponderosa Pine

NIGP 54044 Lumber, White Pine, Including Ponderosa Pine (Item) covers pressure-treated white and ponderosa pine lumber in standard dimensional stock — 2"×4" through 8"×8" in lengths from 8' to 16' — that state and local governments procure for parks infrastructure, facilities maintenance, and outdoor construction projects. The code is solicited by county purchasing offices and special-purpose cooperative purchasing entities on behalf of their member jurisdictions. Recent activity shows government buyers acquiring pressure-treated lumber alongside hardware (deck screws, wood screws, exterior structural screws, joist tape, and deck boards) in bundled lots; Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services, for example, recently sought sixteen line items totaling approximately 721 units of pressure-treated pine lumber and fasteners for parks operations. Vendors must deliver lumber free of burrs, breaks, warping, and twisting, and the county reserves the right to request samples and manufacturer specifications demonstrating equivalence to or exceedance of quality standards prior to award.

Gwinnett County (Georgia) has posted the most recent concrete opportunity under this code: an Informal Written Quotation (IWQ 137160) for Lumber and Hardware due October 21, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., with delivery required to Gwinnett County Parks Operations Warehouse in Lawrenceville on an F.O.B. Destination, freight pre-paid basis. A separate cooperative purchasing RFP through Sourcewell (State of Minnesota local government unit) issued May 12, 2026, for Law Enforcement Equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) indicates broader regional activity across Washington counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, though that solicitation emphasizes equipment procurement rather than lumber supply. Recent Georgia and Pacific Northwest activity suggests the code sees intermittent but recurring demand from county parks and facilities departments on direct-buy and cooperative purchasing vehicles.
